@shirley - yes the pumps are adequate for the job NRW however is another point…. GLA
Why do you say the pumps can’t cope? I’ve heard nothing regards the pumps only that NRW hamstrung the extraction rates we are allowed to pump - NRW are the reason dewatering hasn’t completed (Alba wanted a higher rate & NRW gave us a fraction of what was asked for, NRW are useless, the proverbial thorn in our side) - GLA
Eddy, George has said Alba are constantly looking for new investments that are a good fit, I don’t follow Scotgold but maybe there are assets he'd consider?
Come on NRW stop stalling & do the right thing for heavens sake! GLA
So alas our mystery seller still isn’t done - Anybody any ideas who it could be & how many they might have left - very frustrating :-( ….. They’ll run out eventually that’s a given…. GLA
Nice 10K buy there at 12:34pm - whoever the persistent seller is the sells keep getting snapped up - better they sell at bottom of the chart than kill any incoming rise…. GLA
@inspirednotion - we are expecting several
updates (update on enhanced dewatering, drone survey, waste pit application & a significant GROC update) - they are expected this month so an RNS could drop anytime - GLA
Copland, I’m 51 & everybody needs to experience a left wing government just to realise how bad they are - happening in Wales & look at the SNP up north - the left are already getting public sector workers to strike here in England in an attempt to bring the government down - I suspect a labour government (which despises hard work &/or success) will hammer any dividends/share profits punters make & use the funds to buy votes via more benefits…. I’m just thankful my mortgage will be cleared come the election - my poor folks were paying 19% when I was a kid in the 70s… This will move soon enough (shares go up/down & sideways), shares fall in & out of favour but remember it can all change with a single RNS or media article… GLA
Cheers ScotAlba, that’s encouraging to hear just frustrating NRW don’t simply issue a temporary increase whilst we await the official long term increase…. It’s water that would have gone down the river anyway so why are they so slow… GLA
Greeno: Thanks for that, always surprises me people’s level of research & insight (water level a metre lower than a month algo when the rains hit) - then you get those with no knowledge or research who just criticise & moan all the time - News incoming ;-) GLA
DriverMike, if it does the job what does it matter or would people prefer they tiled it or maybe thatched it like an old English cottage - I’d rather they used our funds diligently to get the job done…. GLA
Has our mystery seller finally finished offloading - We can start the climb back if so (never understood people selling at the bottom of chart but obviously desperate)… Any news Scot on NRW timelines as it should be a news heavy month (for us & GROC) - GLA
George said in recent interview that Alba are in regular communication with NRW & that despite human resource being tight NRW have said they are going to try & fast track it…. GLA
Indeed, I think as shareholders we forget how much building & safety prep has happened on site… We may not be seeing the RNSs we desire most but progress IS being made on a daily basis… GLA
Any rise in GROC will be represented here proportionally via our large holding…. I still believe Alba is the better hold (I would like us to increase our stake mind back above 50%)…
NRW said they would try to speed up the modification to dewatering volumes so it can’t be long now (it’s already been 4weeks or more)…. Meantime dewatering continues just slowly… GLA
Moorlaner; Are you the mystery selling who’s been selling daily chunks for weeks ie a substantial holding? GLA
Whatever GROC choose to do as the majority shareholder Alba still has huge say - plus if somebody wants to buy GROC it makes sense to buy our 44% out in 1 go (they only need little over 7% more then for a hostile takeover if need be)… GLA
I suspect we’ll increase our holding in GROC as funds allow…. GLA
Scotalba - serious investors value your input, ignore the trolls as they just want a cheaper buy in otherwise they’d of moved on to another share (I never revisit the boards of shares I’m no longer invested in)…. I’ll be topping up when funds allow… GLA
Let’s hope the heatwave helps us out & drops the water table eh lol - Seems we have a distressed seller who’s been selling chunks every day now for weeks, until they’ve finished offloading I can’t see us rising much (barring great news of course)… Any new ScotAlba? GLA
Sept should be a better month, dewatering to continue, waste pit application, drone survey - we are due some good luck here - chart says it’s time to buy (DYOR) - Have a great weekend all! GLA
Just watched the whole hour, feel more reassured now… I’d still like to see George buy in, when he’s able, as that will help reassure the market - Not sure why people are selling at these low ball prices but I’ll be buying more & averaging down - Aces seem to be lining up…. Looks like waste-tip application is about to be submitted any day and the drone survey to commence shortly too… GLA
Anything said that might positively affect the share price? GLA
